aptitude (0.6.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
Summary: the behavior of "full-upgrade"/"dist-upgrade" has changed
in a way that could break scripts. See below for details.
This version changes the behavior of the full-upgrade/dist-upgrade
command when additional arguments are present. Previous versions of
aptitude used the command-line arguments to extend the default upgrade
set, so that
# aptitude full-upgrade wesnoth
would install "wesnoth" while attempting to upgrade all other
upgradable packages.
In version 0.6.1.4, aptitude now uses the list of packages as the
explicit list of upgrades to perform. Thus, the same command
# aptitude full-upgrade wesnoth
will upgrade wesnoth and not perform any other actions. If wesnoth
isn't installed, nothing will happen. To get the old behavior, add
"?upgradable" as the first argument following "full-upgrade" and add
"+" to the end of each package that had no qualifiers:
# aptitude full-upgrade "?upgradable" wesnoth+
